Temple worship - Erica - 2

[Guest guest]

If not, why not? <br>When one start getting same

sattvik happiness or Bliss when one is chanting or

meditating one does not feel any need to visit temples. But

it is recommended that a seeker should at least

visit different temples once in a week and can check

one’s subtle abilities. <br><br>Do you experience

temples differently?<br><br>Understanding the subtle

dimension means the ability to perceive without the use of

the five senses, mind and intellect. This subtle

perception is called as spiritual experience. Since

Spirituality is a science of experience, it is taught through

experiments in spiritual meetings. The experiments entail

observing different figures. These could be covered objects

or the reverse side of a photo. One's perception

after meditating on the object for approximately two

minutes is assessed. One may perceive the subtle

vibrations emanating from the object or picture, which

results in one either feeling pleasant or distressed.

Some may perceive nothing at all. A beginner in the

spirituality will not be able to perceive anything if he

participates in such experiments. Only those seekers, whose

spiritual level (due to their spiritual practice) is more,

will be able to perceive the subtle; hence, only such

seekers will be able to participate. The accuracy of

answers obtained during an experiment depends on the

spiritual level of the participants. One should not feel

bad if one's answers are wrong. As one's spiritual

level increases by practicing Spirituality, one will

get the correct answers.<br><br>The different

vibrations perceived at different temples were actually the

understanding sattvika of place. Sattvikta depends upon many

factors such as spiritual level of priest, direction of

the temple, location of temple, kind of visitors to

temples (as a tourist or as a devotees) etc. <br><br>If

you need any further explanation you are most

welcome.<br><br>With love<br>Sanatan <br>Glenn-Sampada

Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply. I

really like the thought that the temple is truely in the

heart. I aspire to someday truely living that sentiment.

For now -- I am still very new to this path and

realize I have a ways to go -- I think that the

physicality of the temple is something I can benefit from.

Truely knowing God is not something that can be achieved

by attending temple, and I know that. It's something

that can only be done internatlly. I am not quite at

that stage yet, and feel that the strong pillar of

physical representations of Divinity is something that

will assist me on my path. I definitely felt an

intense energy at the temple.<br><br>Erica
